90s Brewpub-style Amber Ale. Enter Shaker, our ode to the American Amber Ale and the “shaker” pint glass into which they were poured that dominated so many brewpub tap lists in the boom of the 1990s. Let’s pay this foundational style its due. Brewed with 2-row, crystal malts and a selection of pre-2000s hops (no Citra here!). Presents a quintessential “old school” profile: candied orange, biscuit, pine resin, grass, even some toffee. Bitter yet balanced. A complete reorientation of standards.

Pour is a bright and clear amber with a large white head. Aroma a sugar malt. Flavor is an oily malt which is not as sweet and the aroma let on. Finish has a little earthy feel with a big bitterness for the style. Decent amber ale.
